About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to suck up as much trivia as possible and master as many nifty skills as possible by exploring the world

ABOUT ME

I love sports: Rowing, cycling, swimming, football, 3000m mountain subduing, and if it was a honorable sport, maybe pizza eating ^-^!
Apart from these I'm sure there are still a lot of adrenaline/endorfine instigators to discover! I also love enriching myself and others with new know-how and facts. And what's a better way to do that than meeting new people, maybe matching a bit, but certainly also different, so we can share things! But all of this in little steps! No need to hurry :)

PHILOSOPHY

My filosofy is just take what comes on your path, and sometimes when nothing comes on your path,take a few careful steps aside from it to find a new way to go.

I'm a bad planner, enterpreneur, entertainer, maintainer, and many other things. So I'm very thankful that there are tricks like CS or just people who have the earlier named skills to open the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First I did a few couch surfing events. Mostly in Copenhagen where I ended up for a longer stay. And thanks to cs I met people and managed to built a little but cosy social network. I'll be cs forever thankful for that :)
After that I had tasted from it, I also did a few real surfs in Norway, which was an awesome experience as well!

Interests

Technological stuff that serve good purposes only!
Listening to, and helping others, so you feel useful for some reason.
Learning small new things that make life easier or just more fun, like whistling hard without using you fingers! Still working on that! Slackline walking! Or any small game that beaks the ice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: From commercial blockbusters (Lord of the Rings) to small alternative projects (Bienvenue chez les Chtis). From sobering reality (Mar adentro) to artificial animations (How to teach your Dragon). I can appreciate them all.

Books: Harry Potter (yeah I'm afraid I was also in that hype) Wilbur Smith books, The shadow of the wind. In general easy to read things, to loose all sense of reality.

Music: Wim Mertens, Yann Tiersen, Oh Land, Little Talks (of monsters and men), I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You, Robyn, Hooverphonic, Indie Rock,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting several people who were just through and through nice.
Realizing that chasing your dreams is not prosecutable, and that giving it a try, they sometimes become reality.

Teach, Learn, Share

Clearly a vast area that still needs to be explored!
